An astonishingly original and creative approach to comedy finds El Salvadoran American "space prince"  and SNL writer Julio Torres describing his favourite shapes to an audience, at some length.  One of the most arresting comics around, we talk about his stillness, his spontaneity, and why he won't and/or can't change gear...

A strong contender for Stu’s favourite comic of all time, Patton Oswalt is a behemoth of invention, imagination and creativity. Live from Montreal, at which he won “Stand-up Comedian of the Year”, we discuss what lifts a comic above being “funny but who gives a fuck?”  We also discuss issues of richness, legacy and whether the road gigs are worth it after all; but will Stu manage not to swoon like an Edwardian lady?
